Chamuel

Hi all! Thanks for the great advice contributed to my previous inquiry ("is Calgary or Edmonton better place to live?). Background: I'm a US citizen, and I would like to move to Canada; some place toward the Western side is better for me. Based on what you folks have told me previously about the differences between Calgary and Edmonton . . . and my own research . . . I think I would prefer Calgary as the place to live. BUT . . . . it has been suggested to me that I should dump both Calgary and Edmonton, and instead move to VANCOUVER. I'm not sure why she suggested that to me. So . . . would you please help me out once again with your feedback on the advantages/disadvantages of moving to VANCOUVER instead of Calgary? I appreciate your time . . . and do take your comments seriously! Chamuel (presently living in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA--soon to move to Canada SOMEWHERE!)

Thanks for your reply. This is great information. However, I have never head anything about "Alberta may be issuing passports' [to US citizens?] as a precondition for visiting. The Canada customs website, for instance, says nothing about this. So, could I ask you please what is your source of your information for this claim? >but better hurry though,Alberta may be issuing passports in the near future,and you may have a long wait to get in. I would like to check it out further. - Jim

Calgary or Edmonton? Which is a better place to live??? Hi. I am a US citizen living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I've made up my mind to move to either Calgary or Edmonton, but I can't figure out which one is a nicer place to live. Would you mind sharing your opinion? (I will be renting an apartment.) Anything you can tell me to help compare the two cities would be appreciated--maybe in terms of cost of living, living conditions, temperatures, available water, how crowded they are, or ANYthing else that you think I should know about! Thanks so much.
